Your Bank rolled out several initiatives aimed at offering a superior and differentiated customer experience.

Your Bank’s Commercial Banking business focuses on meeting the banking and financial needs of various customer segments with deeper coverage that goes beyond metro and urban centers, through an expanding network of branches and associates. The business has specialized units which offer financial solutions in the areas of Commercial Vehicles, Construction Equipment, Tractor and Agriculture business. It services the priority sector by providing finance for Tractor, Crop loans, Small Enterprises and Allied agricultural activities, thereby helping your Bank meet its financial inclusion goal. In line with growing rural incomes, our Bank’s Commercial Bank branches have experienced robust growth across product lines on savings as well as lending side.

The Tractor Finance businesses reported significant growth and gained market share, while the Commercial Vehicle (CV) and Construction Equipment Business witnessed a sharp drop in disbursements due to excess load carrying norms, proposed change to BS-VI norms & a reduction in infrastructure spending by the Government. Asset quality also deteriorated.

Your Bank’s Agriculture Financing business continued its focus on the agriculture value chain funding for various agro processing activities. It has registered good growth despite volatility and uncertainty in the commodities market. A Good monsoon and expectations of a bumper Rabi output supported the robust growth. Microfinance Institutions (MFI) segment growth remains robust and asset quality remains good.

Branches in semi-urban and rural areas come under the umbrella of the Commercial Bank. This network plays a crucial role in meeting your Bank’s financial inclusion goals and the credit demand of ‘Bharat’. The Commercial Bank’s Branch network has expanded and the Liabilities book has grown at a healthy pace.

Corporate Banking

Your Bank’s Corporate Banking business caters to a wide range of corporate customer segments including major Indian corporates, conglomerates, financial institutions, public sector undertakings, multinational companies, small and medium enterprises and realty businesses.


This business offers a comprehensive portfolio of products and services to these customers including working capital finance, medium term finance, trade finance, foreign exchange services, other transaction banking services, custody services, debt capital markets and treasury services. The core focus of this business has been to acquire deepen existing relationships and acquire new quality customers on a consistent basis, delivering customized solutions through efficient technology platforms backed by high quality service. Your Bank also aims to secure value addition through the cross-selling of varied products and services.

Corporate Banking was subjected to a number of headwinds through the year including from a slowdown in the economy that was particularly visible in certain key segments such as auto & auto-ancillaries, telecom and real estate. Your Bank has a higher proportion of working capital and short term assets and these were impacted due to the slowdown. The slowdown was compounded by elevated risks in the industry due to high leverage across sectors. In the face of this uncertainty, your Bank was cautious in increasing its exposures and concentration risks. The result has been a muted growth in Assets for the year.

Your Bank has continued to focus on maintaining the health and profitability of the business. There is far more focus on ensuring right risk-return metrics and this has led to continued improvement in Asset spreads during the year. There has also been greater focus on increasing the liability side of our business and other non-risk income streams. Improved customer service and product innovations have helped us increase cross-sell and wallet share in non-credit businesses. Corporate deposits including Current Account and Savings Account (CASA) grew strongly, further reducing our cost of funds and improving our spreads. Income from other non-credit income streams including from Forex, Cash Management and other Transaction Banking products has also grown at a healthy rate. We have also focused on converting opportunities for syndication of loans. This year, we ramped up our income from debt syndication significantly including from high yield opportunities.

Robust risk management practices are in place and your Bank has achieved growth over the years without compromising the health of the book. This year too, despite increased stress in the industry, your Bank has been able to navigate the credit challenges without significantly increasing credit costs. Non Performing Assets (NPAs) have been reasonably controlled though recoveries were muted given the slowdown in the economy.

Across corporate segments, your Bank has been proactive in rebalancing its portfolios to reflect economic situations and reducing exposure to situations with heightened risk. Your Bank’s focus on risk management has helped the business reduce its Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) as a percentage of assets over the past few years. The use of Risk Adjusted Return on Capital (RaRoC) pricing models has become ingrained in the way the Corporate Banking division conducts its business and has helped to optimize pricing, better utilize capital and improve return on equity. Economic Value Add (EVA) measurement tools have been implemented that help your Bank monitor the true risk adjusted value being derived from each client. These initiatives ensure greater focus on improving income mix in favour of non-capital intensive income streams.

Improved credit spreads, higher non-credit income streams and controlled credit costs have ensured that your Bank has been able to grow the profitability of the Corporate Banking business at a strong rate and maintain a healthy Return on Equity (RoE).

Your Bank continues to focus on strengthening its organization platform that positions the Corporate Bank in a strong position to capture opportunities in the market.

Your Bank has an integrated Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) approach towards certain top conglomerates and large corporates. The CIB model has ramped up well and your Bank was awarded the ‘Best Corporate & Investment Bank in India’ by Asiamoney for the calendar year 2019, an award that the Bank has won for the third time in the last four years as a testimony to its capabilities.

The Custody business continues to grow both in terms of Assets under Custody (AUC) as well as new clients added during the year. Your bank continues to be one of India’s largest local Custodians despite the volatility in listed markets in the last 6-12 months. We on-boarded a number of marquee Foreign Portfolio Investment (FPIs), Alternative Investment Fund (AIFs) and Portfolio Management Services (PMS) Clients during the year who started using our Custody, Clearing and Fund Accounting solutions. Your Bank also implemented a new Fund Accounting software during the year with minimal disruption to clients and we expect this to be a good driver of new business as we go forward.

Your Bank’s dedicated Service Solutions vertical has helped ensure faster customer response and improve customer experience. This vertical is the single point of contact for all service related and documentation issues with personnel present across the country. While your Bank has been successful in significantly reducing Turn-Around-Time across various processes, it has also smoothly transitioned into its Business Continuity Planning (BCP) processes in the Covid-19 scenario and ensured business continuity. Additionally, to address challenges in this Covid-19 climate, the Bank has accelerated a number of its digital initiatives on e-signatures and e-stamping to enhance customer options and is focused on gradually moving the entire customer lifecycle to the electronic platform.

Your Bank continues to target productivity and efficiency improvements. There is greater focus on measuring and improving employee productivity including of its sales force through use of technology and digital tools. Given high focus in this area, costs have been kept well in control further improving profitability of the business.

Your Bank continues on its Digital journey to provide the best in class solutions and enhance its customers’ experiences. During the year, we have updated our Core Trade Platform which has laid the foundation for an integrated trade portal, have built a comprehensive Quickcheck platform to automate all types of recurring payments through error-free real time mandate registration, have built an Application Program Interface (API) based instant and end to end automated e-collections solution, have implemented the United Payments Interface (UPI) 2.0 recurring mandate solution and have partnered with FinTechs to provide API and Digital payment solutions.

With this, the Bank complemented its ability to advise and arrange global investment products, provide loans and accept deposits from its overseas wealth & private banking customers that qualify under the Professional client criteria of the DFSA.

Asset Reconstruction

The Resolutions of several large accounts got seriously impacted due to slow down in the economy even before the Covid 19 crisis. It further exacerbated by the large unresolved piling of cases in various judicial forums like Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRT’s), Debt Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT), High Courts, including National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) proceedings under Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).

Crucial recoveries expected in the month of March has been delayed because of the lockdown due to spread of Corona Virus.

The situation looks grim at the moment. The Reserve Bank of India has offered six months moratorium to all the standard borrowers which will give some breather to the borrowers to handle the financial crisis.

Your Bank will however monitor the resolution impact of Covid situation very closely and diligently, spare no efforts to resolve the stress and bad accounts with empathy and compassion.

We expect a lot of opportunities to present in the acquisition side, of the stressed loans which your Bank will look at very closely and if the prices offered are reasonable and attractive, we shall be open to acquire several of them.

Further details of the principle business units of your Bank and their performance are available in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis Report.

Response to Covid

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had and continues to have a material impact on the global and Indian economy, the financial services sector and our business. We summarise below the significant areas where we have seen an impact of COVID-19 on our business and your Bank’s approach on these areas going forward:

• Operations and business continuity: Your Bank has taken a number of steps at various levels to enable supervision and support of its employees who are working from home. IT and HR teams of your Bank have worked to move many employee systems to internet-first and mobile-first platforms, ensuring seamless access from home in several areas of operations. While the focus so far had been to protect the health and ensure the safety of employees, while ensuring minimum disruption to regular banking operations, your Bank will continue to improve productivity monitoring as an ongoing process as ‘work from home’ continues. To enhance the quality of customer interactions and to enable increased personalization, your Bank has upgraded to a new customer relationship management tool which has enabled the relationship teams to reach out and service clients in the current situation, thus facilitating banking from home.

• The moratorium: Until April 30, 2020, at the account level, 26.2% by value of borrowers of your Bank (as of March 1, 2020, i.e., the reference date for applicability of the moratorium) had availed the moratorium prescribed by the RBI. The accounts which benefit from the moratorium period are not classified as NPAs if the accounts have any instalments/ interest that fall overdue during the moratorium period. However, lenders are required to make general provisions in respect of accounts which were in default on March 1, 2020 and the benefit of the Moratorium Period has been availed. For fiscal year 2020, your Bank recognised a general provision for COVID-19 deferment cases amounting to ` 6,500 million, which is higher than the minimum levels required by the RBI. If your Bank had not considered the standstill clause on accounts granted moratorium, Gross Non Performing Assets (GNPA) of your Bank as of March 31, 2020 would have been higher by approximately ` 6,600 million. Further, on May 22, 2020, the RBI has further permitted the extension of the moratorium period by another three months to August 31, 2020. The impact of this circular is difficult to ascertain, as your Bank may permit more customers to avail the moratorium beyond May 31, 2020, which may require your Bank to make higher provisions and impact overall profitability and growth. Your Bank may be required to recognise higher loan loss provisions in future periods, on account of the uncertainty in the external environment due to COVID-19, which may adversely impact asset quality and profitability of your Bank in future periods.

• Collections: The lockdown and social distancing measures have restrained the ability of collections team of your Bank to go out in the field, which may impact recovery of dues. However, your Bank is calling its customers using traditional tele-calling setups. Further, with the focus on customer convenience, your Bank has activated additional digital channels for payments, and are sending payment links to customers with pre-filled data, making it convenient for the customers to make payment. Your Bank continues to have ‘awareness calls’ with its customers to inform them of the terms of the moratorium. Post the completion of the moratorium period, your Bank aims to proactively focus on collections.

• Cost reduction measures and investments in technology: Your Bank has implemented and is looking to implement cost reduction measures such as reduction in employee pay and re-negotiation of branch rentals. Going forward, as working from home, flexible hours and flexible location become commonplace, there will be a requirement to make upfront investment in infrastructure and technology, but at the same time, there will be an opportunity to achieve savings in rental and travel costs.

• Advances and credit policy: Your Bank has tightened credit policy across customer segments. Some of the key elements of revised credit policy of your Bank are as follows:

o Corporates: Your Bank is continuously reviewing exposures, disbursements, sanctions given and not yet availed on a case-by-case basis. Further, for fresh sanctions, your Bank expects to focus on corporates with high credit rating, low leverage, low fixed cost and industries where the impact of COVID-19 is not likely to be as severe.

107





o SME customers: For many of these companies, your Bank is the sole bank and we aim to continue to support such companies, subject to acceptable levels of risk. Further, in terms of new SME customers, your Bank will look at customers that have no/low leverage, low fixed cost operating models and can provide good collateral.

o Retail customers: For secured customers, your Bank may provide additional funding to its existing customers subject to acceptable levels of risk. Further, as the situation is evolving, your Bank is working on alternative risk models for different products and location. For unsecured customers, your Bank plans to continue to increase its sourcing from internal customers and customers employed by leading corporates.

Stress testing: Your Bank has carried out specific stress testing to gauge the impact of COVID-19 in various stress scenarios. Your Bank is actively monitoring economic developments by performing sensitivity analysis on its loan portfolio and will take precautionary actions accordingly, such as exposure management and proactive restructuring.

Your Bank has made a provision towards advances of `650 crore at the standalone bank level and `714 crore at the group level on account of COVID-19.

In the middle of the unprecedented lockdown due to the Covid-19 situation, your Bank helped its Corporates customers to open salary accounts for their new joinees using Digital 811accounts. This helped new joinees across corporates to open their accounts and get their salary credited without delays.

In order to support the country during the ongoing pandemic, your Bank has enabled online donations to the “PM Cares fund” and State Chief Ministers’ funds through Click2Remit online remittance platform.

Human Resources

Your Bank has also enhanced. To increase efficiency, automation and centralisation, your Bank has transitioned HR operations and many more processes to shared service.

To support the government’s effort in combating COVID-19, your Bank has contributed ` 25.00 crore to the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PM Cares Fund), and donated ` 10.00 crore to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund – COVID 19 in Maharashtra in FY 2019-20. Even in FY 2020-21, your Bank has been continuously supporting various constituencies including the urban & rural poor, tribal communities, doctors, nurses and policemen on COVID-19 duty via various means such as contributing food packets, ration kit, masks, face shields, sanitisers, Personal Protective Equipment Kits (PPE Kits), and the like.

The implementation of the CSR projects and programmes is done directly and /or through selected partner who may be either governmental agencies, NGOs and/or other institution, having a proven track record of implementing cost and process efficient CSR projects and/or programmes that are scalable, sustainable, and have measurable social outcomes and impact. Also, the implementation is done through employee volunteering. The Bank’s CSR footprint has been consistently increasing over the years. The Bank is committed to stepping-up its CSR programmes and expenditure in the years ahead.

Foremost reason for underspend of Bank CSR expenditure in FY 2019-20 is the NGOs’ inability to utilise large CSR expenditure allocated under the Bank’s CSR Programmes. For the Bank’s CSR Programme Education & Livelihood ` 5.56 crore were unutilised by the Bank’s NGO partners, in CSR Programme on Healthcare ` 0.75 crore were unutilised by the Bank’s NGO partners, and in CSR Programme on Sports ` 0.25 crore were unutilised by the NGO partners, in FY2019-20. The NGOs have assured that they will utilise these unutilised CSR funds towards the Bank’s Programmes in FY2020-21.

Your Bank does not consider “administrative overheads” as part of its CSR Expenditure.

The CSR Committee of the Board confirms that the implementation and monitoring of CSR Policy, is in compliance with CSR objectives and Policy of the Bank.
